Got a pair of these in my tackle box, one weighted version, one unweighted. Had the intention of getting out and seeing if there were any Codling around, using a liphooked whiting as a livebait, but alas not enough time to get out fishing due to work and home life. Havent missed out on much though, as Codling seem to have disappeared from the Thames Estuary now☹️ Perhaps give it a go with a pout for a bass in the summer
This might seem a silly question. I get that its a live bait slider. But can you use this with a normal bait. Was thinking it might work for getting a big bait out far when windy
Not a silly question at all. Yes you can use a regular bait, check out some of the RUclips videos from South Africa. It’s all about working the rod to get the slider to move along the line.
If there are seals on the surface beneath where you’re fishing, it’s not a good idea to try and slide a bait out, but if they disappear for a bit you only need a minute or so to get the bait out and past the seal zone.
@@VealsMailOrder2898 Nope . This was origionaly made in South Africa and they Snell there circles weather using slide baits or just circles. the trick is do NOT strike just pick the rod up and wind. snelled circles have worked over in south africa and for me.
I had a 9lb pollock with a slider off the rocks fishing for tope. Cracking peace of kit 👍
Thanks Jansen, that’s the best explanation I’ve seen of how to use a slider mate. Cheers & Tight lines 🎣
Thanks Simon, glad you found it useful. Tight lines to you too🙂
Used for the Halibut in Norway.
Quality… be using this when I go Norway in a couple weeks 👍🏻

I think cod have been thin on the ground everywhere
That is absolutely genius!
Where can I get that 10 oz griplead?

Brilliant thank you @VealsMailOrder2898
Nice. Where can i buy a slider?

Does the slider work well with braid main line?
No, it is better with mono. The lack of stretch in braid can potentially pull the lead out.
Has anyone uesd it at Chesil? I take it it's not good to use with big waves coming in ? Calm weather method?
I know anglers who have used it at Chesil and caught bass, not ideal when the sea is rough though
All was going well,until you mentioned dont use around seals.
Virtually impossible in South devon

I do it up in north yorkshire coast for 20years + , why do people tie circle hooks with a loop .... tie it with a snell knot
If tied with a snell knot, the hook has limited movement and won’t work as effectively

@@manchapkarm3626 We’ve tried snelling and using a perfection loop, and we’ve found the loop most effective. But each to their own🙂

I use this method in Shetland biggest Cod 28.5 lbs with a 2lb coalfish.
